Tiberian sun movies?

[zeus-online]

Hi, i am new here.

 

http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41

 

I cannot download the cutscenes and movies. I suspect they have been moved or deleted from the server. Anyone know where i can get tiberian sun + firestorm with campaigns and movies?

 

I own the cd's, but getting them to work on windows 7 is more trouble than it is worth.

[Tore]

The site hosting the videos is having issues.

 

You can try this beta version of the TS installer: http://tore29.com/tsins/TSinstaller3-beta8r3.exe

[zeus-online]

I will try it

Hope it has the videos, music and campaign missions.

 

Okay, it works...kinda, it crashes when i save the game (Fortunately *AFTER* saving the game)

Actually, the menu is just not visible after saving the game.

 

Still crashes once in a while.

[Tore]

Try and go to the settings and set the renderer to "default". Out of the box it uses TS-ddraw which is experimental.

[zeus-online]

That did solve the invisible menu problem.

 

However, when i load a saved game i cannot construct units or buildings anymore.

Radar is also offline when i load

Any advice?

[Retired]

idk how but it seems i posted in wrong thread.

[Tore]

Hmm, gotta look into that bug.

[zeus-online]

Sorry to bother you again.

 

Was Orca's always this bad? They have no health and do very little damage. Also the AI for them seems bugged, sometimes they just don't fly when i tell them to.

[Tore]

Hmm, that's odd. How little health do they have?

 

If you find other issues don't hesitate to mention them.

8 of them got killed by two sam sites without even destroying one sam site. I find that odd ?

 

I have not played this game for a decade or more, so they might have always been like this.

It's possible... stuff dies really fast in TS. Though even in TD, I think 8 orcas against 2 SAMs would end rather poorly for the ORCAs. SAMs are real killers.

If you are referring to the first command and conquer game.

8 Orca's would definitely destroy 2 sam sites, i doubt that they would even take 1 orca down before getting destroyed.

[Tore]

In Tiberian Sun 8 Orcas should kill 2 SAM sites, but in C&C1 the SAM sites should be able to kill all if not most of them.

 

The pathfinding bugs and such must be due to the game.exe in that one, I just put it there without testing it. (it's a beta after all )

Really? I remember it very differently. I recall using orca's to destroy sam sites in the original CnC game (Now known as tiberian dawn). I dont remember using more than 6 tops to kill a sam site, with no casualities on my side.

 

I don't have too many memories of orca fighters in tiberian sun since the orca bomber is vastly superior.

[cn2mc]

In TD you need 4 orcas to kill a SAM with only one orca getting damaged. 3 are enough to kill it but one will probably die before that if you try. 2 SAM sites and 8 orcas will most probably result in one, possibly two dead orcas and two dead SAM sites. The flawless victory is 4 orcas with 3 attacking and one distracting the SAM site, this way you will get no damage at all, but there has to be no enemy AA besides that one SAM site.

[pichorra]

You can destroy a SAM-site with 3 orcas in TD, but the SAM will destroy one of your orcas.

Another oddity with this mod:

The mouse cursor is identical to the white mouse cursor i use in windows. Wasn't there a tiberian sun mouse cursor?

[Tore]

None of the release versions of TS had their own mouse cursor.

 

and it isn't a mod. It is identical to original TS version 2.03 (last patch ever released) with some patches and tools to make it easier to play on modern systems. Any differences is a bug.

That is so weird, since it changes to a green glowing cursor when i use it to scroll around the map

 

Perhaps westwood intended there to be a TS mouse cursor, but didn't finish it. I understand that EA pushed the dead line quite a lot.

 

I also encountered some lag in the mission "Destroy prototype facility" most of the lag occured when the AI used underground vehicles, but some of it seemed random (Meaning: i did not see any direct cause)

For some reason i was also unable to construct a tech lab in this mission, but i think it might just be part of the mission.

[Tore]

There are green cursors inside the TS files, and certain mods re-enable them, mods such as TS: Retro.

[zeus-online]

For some reason i am unable to start the NOD campaign. It says "Unable to read scenario!"

[Tore]

Hmm, more bugs to fix

[zeus-online]

I got the same message first time i tried to start the GDI campaign, but was successful on the second try. I have attempted multiple times on the NOD campaign with no success.

I have the same problem with d/l of movies.mix etc.

 

Is it possible to copy those movies.mix files from my original CDs to make it work?

 

If it is possible, which files should I copy?

[Tore]

For the TS version in the downloads section, no. Then you need The First Decade.

 

For this version: http://tore29.com/tsins/TSinstaller-beta9-untested.exe you can.
